Knows what a fatty is.
How early can you buy the pork butts and ribs before the competition? Is 1 week before the comp. too early?
Thanks,

The RDepot ribs/meat also have dates on them. Its a 3 digit Julian code for the day of the year. Always look for the highest number. Example code 119 = the 119th day of the year. Jan 1 = 001, Dec 31 = 365)

You'll be fine a week out with anything from RD but do check for the higher date code. Our RD (and most I would suspect) moves a lot of meat and I have never had a freshness problem. The 3 digit date code on the label is the date that particular cut is weighed and labeled for individual sale. For cuts labeled that day you can usually check the cases still on the shelf to find the pack date since they were more than likely pulled from the same pallet. All that aside pork in its original cryo will last in the coldest part of your fridge...I've been told upwards of a month from pack date but don't quote me on that. Once the cryo is opened though all bets are off on shelf life!
